Sweaters and Seasons

These wool sweaters were picked up in the heat of summer for only $1 a piece, I knew they would come in handy just I knew the summer heat would soon be a memory.

So it is now a memory and the seasons are catching up to us here in Michigan.  It's not just been chilly these mornings but it's been cold.  But I like it, it is familiar, cozy and a bit romantic.  

Even still you can't meet these mornings unprepared.  If you are to enjoy all the contrasts of Michigan's seasons you must dress appropriately.  For that reason I put these sweaters to use and they are now Sunday morning sweater vests for three of the boys.

I like sweater vests, they make these boys look sharp.  They also hide the stains on their ties and the wear on their dress shirts.  And I've already mentioned the warmth factor - they are like pieces of armor for the damp cold we experience here.

The sewing of these pieces is so simple I feel silly adding instructions.  But I'd be happy to post a little tutorial for those interested.

As for keeping myself warm.............leg warmers!  all from the sleeves of these three thrifted sweaters.
